    It’s so nice to have blogger friends in temperate climes, because I get to see images of your Spring long before ours starts!

    What a welcome sight. I have some Ericsmithii hybrids out but Helleborus orientalis is taking its time.

      I do have ericsmithii Winter Moonbeam in full bloom but I only bought it a fortnight ago so I am not counting that (first plant purchase of 2017)!

    How exciting. We have buds popping up here. It won’t be long.

    So lovely! Hellebores quickly becoming one of my favorites, along with galanthus.

    Pure envy on my part! I’ve got hellebore foliage but there’s no sign of any flowers.

    Love these wonderful winter bloomers. My Hellebore ‘Shooting Star’ are blooming now as well. Your captures are beautiful!

    Lovely aren’t they? So yours are doubles. Such a shame they hold their heads down.

      I have many singles and other doubles too, but this is the first. The stems usually do get taller in time and show off their flowers better

    One of the most beautiful of the Harvington hellebores. Indeed I have featured it on my own blog. My own is well budded up but not actually in flower yet due to my changing position to the north facing front entrance. Last year it was in spectacular flower like your own.
